Must download LGtools, register for software.....If I can afford to buy this software and their unlock card to unlock this phone by cable, why I need the instruction to unlock my LG:confused:

[General Questions and Answers] FardingAround:
This is a bit late, but I can help. After messing around in so many ways with my Optimus Extreme, I've learned this: It's deadlocked to Net10. Basically, as far as I know, Net10 phones are stuck with Net10. When I put in the sim I want to use with another service, it says "Service Provider Locked." I thought that meant I should be able to unlock it. But sadly, "service unlock" just doesn't show up in the menu. Network unlock does, but I've come to realize that "Your phone is not personalized" means that yes, it is indeed unlocked for the network. When watching another video that actually showed an L5 being unlocked (twin to our phone) it showed an entire selection beyond Network unlock that I didn't have.

Bottom line, LG L40G is forever a slave. I'm not sure why no one ever posts this. For those who are very new to hacking their phones, it's not a no-brainer. We all have to learn somewhere.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ebodinator:
Hey guys, I'm a new member of the XDA Community and was hoping to address an issue my new Galaxy Nexus has been running with. First of all, it is a Canadian Nexus device and is running Jelly Bean 4.1.1. I've had the device for a week now, and it was day ONE where the Nexus started malfunctioning. While on the homescreen, lockscreen, or just using apps, the device would randomly press things. Now what I mean is, while I was texting, the device randomly typed in gibberish. My fingers didn't touch ANYTHING. Or another time I was on my lockscreen and the device started glitching by going to emergency dialer inputting random numbers; I'd press back or off, but what the device was doing was pretty much overriding my commands forcing me to perform a battery pull. Also while browsing the phone inputs random things (be it links or what so) as well as opening up random things in a game (Knights of Pen and Paper). These "glitches" happen ONCE IN AWHILE. The phone might "glitch" for a couple of seconds before going back to normal. I factory reset the device and the problem still persists once in awhile (just not as severe). The phone might usually press the home button by itself (trust me, my hands and fingers are nowhere near the home button when that happens). I researched the issue and some went through this, but unfortunately, this doesn't feel like a hardware defect (if it was, would it not persist continuously/not randomly?). I don't think taking it to where I bought it would help because I can't replicate the issue (the issues stopped for two days before pressing random things again after, except it wasn't as severe). I just thought to let the community know about my ghost phone, so any questions and comments concerning my issue would be greatly appreciated! :laugh:

Sorry for the long post.

I'd backup my SD card and then completely wipe everything off the phone.

In twrp wipe>format data at the bottom. Not sure about cwm

There's no such thing as a possessed device.

Op, read this first.

Then, read the first post of this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] niamul:
Oh I've seen a possessed device.

My friend has a spica that runs 2.3.7 on it. The same problem started with 2.2.2 and he hoped the upgrade to a newer rom would help.

It didn't help. Random key press is but one of the problems. The hardware buttons don't work and has made the phone unusable.

So can we rule out software issue on this? It could be the screen going bad.

Who knows..

So as the title says, I have an extra Ingress code that I want to give away. I already got a code from a friend but before I did, I put my email onto a list on Ingress' site to get sent an invite code once there were more available. The code came the other day but I don't need it because I already have one. The first person to answer this question gets the code in their PM's: What are the hardware code names of the Nexus 4, Nexus 7, Nexus 10, and Nexus Q (optional)?

Winner: NNS-G
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] NNS-G:
nexus 4- occam

10-mantaray

7-nakasi
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] android88:
Not the software code names, the device itself's code name. For example, my old T-Mobile GS2's code name is Hercules.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] NNS-G:
ah.

nexus4- mako

7-grouper

10-manta
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] nero17:
nexus 4 mako/occam

nexus 7 grouper/nakasi/nagasig(+3g)

nexus 10 mantaray/manta

depends on build from aosp or cm xD
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] android88:
Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! Check your PM's.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] nero17:
AHHHHHH 1 MINUTE!!!!..damn..
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] android88:
Sorry. If I get another code I'll do another giveaway.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] illuzi0n:
Congrats!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] obtained:
I got sent an invite code. I opened ingress and never put the code in. I think it automatically recognized my email address and didn't have to put the code in. I had discovered I don't want to play the game and if someone wants my code the first to pm me can have it. I doubt it will work for you but who knows...

Edit: I have given it away. Hopefully it will work for the person. No more PMs please. :)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] wngmv:
I have an extra one too. The first reply got it. I'll come and check this tomorrow. (EST time)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] resist:
Pick me pick me ;)

Extra code? Not using?

If anyone has a code and they r not using it, please think of me :)

[Galaxy S II General] MrToastedAndroid:
I have a chance to grab any of these phones for $99 on a $20 plan.

The HTC One S has a dual core snapdragon S4 processor running at 1.5ghz and I am a fan of HTC.

But its near impossible to find this phone at any retailer :(
[Galaxy S II General] JakeLee28:
if your a fan of htc, go for it.

One S is still fairly newer so expect more updates than the GS2

GS2 has an micro SD card slot ( One S doesn't so limited internal memory for One S )

Both phones are good, go for what feels best for you.
[Galaxy S II General] jj_95nano:
HTC one S is what you will get.
[Galaxy S II General] MrToastedAndroid:
Thanks for the reply and for the reminder about no sdcard! Does anyone know which display is better?
[Galaxy S II General] pasanjay:
one s shuld have a better display and resoloution.. But s2's super amoled plus screen is not bad either
[Galaxy S II General] kikoto:
As a previous owner of 3 HTC smartphones (2 of them flagships), and a current owner of an S2, I'd advise you to stay away from them and go for the S2. HTCs are plagued with issues, both hardware and software. Also, expandable storage is a bonus and the option to add a bigger battery to the S2 is great. The only advantage of the One S is the higher resolution of the screen but don't be fooled, the One S had an amoled screen with a pen-tile matrix while the S2 has a full RGB matrix. Even though on paper the HTC's resolution is better, there is not a dramatic difference in real life.
[Galaxy S II General] oxyg3n89:
Get one s instead:)

Feels better in hand, not so slippy thought as s2.

Touchwiz is deadly boring thing when compared to sense 4.

Even on ics 4.0.4 one s feels little more fluid in graphics and more responsive than s2 on leaked official jellybean.

Have not tried one s running custom roms like cm10, but s2 gives me little dissapointment on custom rooms, most of them are broken due lack of full hardware acc/ project butter support.

Hovewer if you need micro sd support, extended replaceable battery, standart slot for sim cards, S2 may be good choice over one s too:)
[Galaxy S II General] Vazduh:
The S4 1,5 Ghz Krait processor in One S is paired in performance with SIII's quad, being net supperior to SII (see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C661Tdorbl0 )

One S S4 has already received JB update with Sense 4+, SII still waiting.

BUT,

SII has a better screen (IMHO), has removable battery cover and a card slot of max 32 Gb. This means that you can buy a second battery for extra "stamina", or replace it if the original one gives signs of old age (prolonging the life of an S2) and extand the memory to a total of 12 GB (internal usable) + 32 GB = 44 GB :good:. Last, but not least, SII has an overall better community support as well as other small things such as accessories (you'll always easily find accessories for S2 with much more alternatives...hands-free, cases, bumpers, screen protectors, battery covers, batteries, etc).

To sum up:

If you upgrade your phone for a long period (one year or so) I would recomand SII. If you plan to change the phone in the next months, than you can go with HTC.

This is my opinion, take it as it is.;)
[Galaxy S II General] Mirrim:
I have SGS2 and my gf HTC one S and I like both phones a lot but htc is way smoother

So if price is the same htc all the way
[Galaxy S II General] tr1cky1:
AW: Should I get the SGS2 or the HTC One S?

I would not get the One S, like all HTC phones there are many manufacturing errors, my Desire HD died after 6 months of usage, also HTC Support is ****, my battery Cover broke after a week and they promised me to send a new one, but it never arived.

Sent from my Galaxy S2 with Tapatalk
[Galaxy S II General] jj_95nano:
Okay, let me brush you through the disadvantages or limitations of the S2:

- Regardless of the ROM you use, there will always be some lag when you open the contacts app for the first time (or whenever it gets killed)

- There is a delay of 1 second when you wake the device from standby.

- Certain people (like me), have issues with screen quality (black crush, bad color temperature, yellow tint, greenish greys, linen looking texture on grey backgrounds at low brightness).

-The S2's screen is 32bit, but Android doesn't use that color depth... So you will see color banding on almost every gradient background. (if you don't know what color banding is, you should google it...) I think the Mali 400 GPU also has something to do with this. Somebody correct me on this one.

- The S2 uses a Yamaha audio chip.This is a downgrade from its predecessor's Wolfson audio chip. The Yamaha chip is outright horrid. Forget about punchy bass and that wow factor. If you enable bass boost or make any EQ modification which increases bass, you will hear horrible distortion and speaker clipping. But loudspeaker performance is great.

- The camera modules (only rear camera) on certain S2's (like mine) are defective. There is stuttering while recording videos which have dark/light lighting (extremes).

Also, there is a pink spot in the center of all photos which are having grey or white colors. (This particular issue is faced by each and every S2 regardless of the camera module, if people deny it... they just aren't as observant.

- The battery life of the S2 is mediocre (not for me). Users complain that the S2 doesn't last them even 24 hours. (I'm in a different boat for this one)

Although the battery drains super fast while gaming or leaving the display on auto brightness.

However, you can always get a larger capacity battery which will make your S2 thicker. And uglier. And heavier. OK you got it. :p

- You will not receive updates on time, but you'll at least get updates. Due to the pending lawsuit with Apple, Samsung is silently disabling/changing certain features. (I shall not talk about these here, as its a vast and debatable topic)

Some of these issues that I have mentioned here can be fixed or camouflaged by either getting a replacement S2 or by rooting and flashing custom mods or ROMs.

Bottom line: There are several advantages of the S2 which the other users will tell you about, but I feel that the S2 shouldn't be on your list. Either get the One S or get something even better that has no or lesser issues and will last for a while.

Cheers.:)

EDIT:- I forgot to tell you about these issues:

- eMMc brick-bug issue, which means that if you root and use clockworkmod recovery to wipe the device, it will never wake up again. (i haven't had this issue)

- The screen burn-in issue which is there on all AMOLED phones.

- There is no notification LED.

- There is a delay when you press the home button. (can be fixed)

That's all. :p
[Galaxy S II General] mirko1977:
Also the S2 has got a replaceable battery.
[Galaxy S II General] zachwyt:
Odp: Should I get the SGS2 or the HTC One S?

Sgs 2 on JB leak can use 64gb sdxc cards:)
[Galaxy S II General] sabianadmin:
Higher resolution, beautiful industrial design, faster processor (significantly so) and most importantly Samsung have nothing to do with it. Why would you even consider the SII over the One S?

Ive since moved from the SII to greener pastures but owning the SII was one of the most frustrating expereicnes ive had with any item of technology (bar its predecessor, the Wave) in recent years .
[Galaxy S II General] MrToastedAndroid:
Did not expect this many replies. The community that supports this phone is amazing. So a lot of posts tell me S2 is the way to go.

I really don't need a massive amount of storage (all my Top Gear episodes and Pimp my Ride series are on my 320GB PS3 Slim) but the pain of downloading a show, say a formula 1 race onto a computer then transferring the huge file on the One S is tedious then if you download the formula 1 race directly onto the sdcard then play it off the phone.

Screen size is not an issue, the pentile matrix on the One S doesn't really matter to me because I'm writing this on a device that has a VGA resolution. Higher density also is not a big deal, and since the screen is basically the same-even in size, it doesn't matter.

I do listen to music and I can tell that beats audio is a huge waste of money, and it's showing up everywhere, from laptops to a 2013 Chrysler 300C! I don't know what HTC was smoking when they decided to dump money into things that don't make any difference. I never knew about the audio chip set. I always thought that it was part of the motherboard! Shows how little I know about these things.

Camera is not an issue since I am no means a photographer and have no interest of that subject. I don't mind the SGS2's pink camera syndrome. Also, I did read in a review of the HTC One S that the display was better calibrated than the normal SAMOLED display.

I do miss the notification LED from my beloved BlackBerry 8520 and the HTC Wildfire S. It is not nesscary because the two capacitive buttons cam light up when I get a notification using root access and an app from the play store. And the notification LED on the HTC One S is barely noticeable.

So far with HTC I had no quality control issues, my sister who now has the wildfire s is careless to say the least and drops it everywhere. But it still works fine! I always get cases for everything, and I don't make any device of mine to fall 5 stories and expect it to work.

I want stock 4.0 and up look. I don't like manufacturer overlays like Sense or Touchwiz. So people tell me to root and recovery and cyanogenmod. But as with any device, all cyanogenmod ROMS have issues. I am not familiar with the issues on cm10 for this device, but development for cm10.1 for the htc one s has no working Camera whatsoever.

I do not want to upgrade again for around 2-3 years so as someone said, the SGS2 has more development than the One S but as long as there is cyanogenmod or paranoid android I will be happy. The one s seems future proof since HTC didn't release any info of its next flagship phones but you never know.

Again, thank all the posters for the advice on what to get.
[Galaxy S II General] MrToastedAndroid:
I also forgot I am in no means Bear Grylls meang someone who takes their phone with them for a 2 month trip climbing Mount Everest and expects their phone to last for the trip (exaggeration lol :p)

I do not need a replaceable battery, however having that feature is nice. I remember the LG Rumour2 and LG Xenon had the same battery and I always swapped them out when I needed more juice. Funny story: back in the day I was moving and didn't have access to power for the most part, so I used the car battery to charge but I had to keep the engine running so the battery doesn't die and the alternator does all the work. Leaving the engine idiling made it overheat since the car was pretty old (1990 Honda accord) and we had to wait at our old house until the engine cooled with the last bits from the old house. Sitting down for 2 hours is not fun. So after that I always try to charge my battery on all my devices so I don't need to worry.
[Galaxy S II General] AayushDhuria:
I am a previous owner of HTC Sensation XE, had to give it up, my s2's screen has tint but service guys won't replace it, Sensation had same screen and I'd prefer that over S2's, rest, S2 has lots of issues, that guy mentioned Em in detail ^^

One S is the way to go.

Edit: One S will have less buggy CM Roms and Sense isn't that bad :)

Edit 2: Just checked One S forum, Go for S2 if you want stock Android :P, I'm leaving it soon though.
[Galaxy S II General] oxxshadow:
I think a good device for your would be the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Right now, you can get one for relatively cheap, from 200-260 the device is a steal. You won't be needing to worry about it becoming obsolete for another 2 years, as it is still supported by Google and has a huge developer base community. And the best thing is...... AOSP ROMS will always be bug free and stable, due to sources from Google. It comes with 16 GB of storage like the One S, but has a replaceable battery. Did I also forget to mention that the Nexus has an HD screen? I understand that it to is AMOLED, but it doesn't seem to have as many issues as the Galaxy S2. I used to have a G- Nexus, but sold it due to a display issue. Don't get me wrong, I bought the device second hand, so don't think that all Nexus phones have issues. In my short time with the Nexus, it beats the S2 or performs equally in general use, to gaming, to browsing due to properly implemented Project Butter. If I hadn't got my S2 for 150 brand new, I would have bought another Nexus. Hope this helps!
[Galaxy S II General] MrToastedAndroid:
I don't like the Galaxy Nexus because I'm outside for long periods of time on weekdays and my friend complained about the screen being too dark in sunlight. The One s and galaxy s2 screen is brighter.

Also, I cannot get that phone for $99 on a $20 plan.
[Galaxy S II General] oxxshadow:
In that case, I would recommend the HTC One S as it is more future proof.
[Galaxy S II General] Jomari29:
S2...

I am unaware of this manufacturer HTC...

:p
[Galaxy S II General] duykhang524:
Im boycotting HTC until they bring back the removable battery and expandable storage that they had before. (: Wait for the Xperia Z why not get the S3?
[Galaxy S II General] jj_95nano:
Re: Jan 2013 - Is SGS2 still worth buying?

I had posted this on another thread which asks a similar question:
[Galaxy S II General] Zwaq:
Given that it's an exynos phone you might want to consider avoiding the s2 if you want good support of custom firmwares. That said, it's a solid phone in my opinion.
[Galaxy S II General] TheiPhoneKiller:
I have both,both are really good phones,the One S deffinently has the edge,the Krait cpu is somin else,its super fast and flys through everying in a doddle,the screen is nice to,both have amoled screens but whites come out better on the one s,both are thin and lightwieght but the metal body and the looks of the One S is like Jennifer Lawrence in a bikini
[Galaxy S II General] -iNCEPTiON-:
S2 is better than HTC :)
[Galaxy S II General] MrToastedAndroid:
Well which one is easier to root and install custom ROMS and recoveries? I never had any experience rooting and installing recoveries from Samsung. I have adb configured and I know how to fastboot images and recoveries. However, I have HTC drivers installed on my computer, will they interfere with installing su permissions and recoveries? And is there a locked bootloader that people has to get past to start using adb commands?

I would like to try something out of HTC but since the one s doesn't have a sdcard its gonna be a challenge to root that either.
[Galaxy S II General] kikoto:
Search for guides on rooting and flashing for both phones and you'll see the difference :D

In my opinion, the samsung is much easier to root and flash
[Galaxy S II General] SUPERUSER:
There is like no S-OFF on HTC anymore that's a shame! Go with samsung every day over HTC :good:
[Galaxy S II General] Truman82:
imo

sgs2 for the win:p

removable battery and sd card is a win imho.

[HTC One X] requiem11:
If you haven't unlocked your bootloader, rooted, or flashed any ROMs, then you should still be on stock ROM and locked, right? Why not take it back?
